Thank You Notes For Wedding Gifts - How Long?

Tips On Thank You Notes For Wedding Gifts - How Long?

As soon as you return from your honeymoon and settle down into some kind of a routine, set a goal of writing three or four thank you notes evey day, with the ultimate goal of having them all written no later than six weeks after the wedding. (No, you can not get by with thanking people verbally, and no, you do not have one year to write the thank you notes.)

It's acceptable to write one thank you note for a group gift - you do not need to write a separate thank you note to each member of the group.

The thanks must always be personlized and written by hand. Here is sample wording:

Dear Aunt Elaine,

Thank you for coming to our wedding. Your presence made our day extra special.

Richard and I want to thank you for your thoughtful gift. We love the breadmaker. In fact, we make fresh bread several times a week. I think Richard is getting spiled. Thank you so much.

Your loving nice,

Carol

If the gift was a cash gift, it is nice to thank the giver for the item you purchased, or plan to purchase, with the money. It is never acceptable to let someone else help you out by writing your thank you's for you. You would be surprised how many people recognize your mom's or your sister's handwriting!
